And by that, I don't mean a canned food drive.
You’ve likely heard of students bringing canned food to school for food drives, but have you ever heard of bringing a canned food item to school for safety?
A letter sent to parents of students at one school in Chambers County requested just that — students were asked to arm themselves with an eight ounce canned food item.
Though it sounds odd, administrators believe the practice could catch potential intruders off guard, possibly even knocking him or her out until police arrive.
Because the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is...good kids with canned food.
“There are three basic options: run, hide, or fight. You can run away from the shooter, seek a secure place where you can hide and/or deny the shooter access, or incapacitate the shooter to survive and protect others from harm.”
Or how about build a society where such incidents are extraordinarily rare in the first place?
In the letter, Principal Holley said students who are armed with a canned food item will have a sense of empowerment to protect themselves in the event an intruder enters their classroom.
Surely these dumbasses didn't think about actually feeding desperate people with that canned food, did they? Nah. Because what could possibly go wrong.
